Refusing to work overtime for the teacher

Yuejiugui's wedding banquet is held one month later, when the spring scene is at its peak, with bright reds and purples flying all over the mountains, weeping willows blowing the water, and the wind is fragrant.

The lively sound can be heard endlessly.

Hanshan Qidao business is all over the world, and now the Shaodong family has a happy event. The guests who came to congratulate and the gifts brought by the carriage not only crowded the door, but also blocked the road on the mountain road.

Xie Ling came here on a tortoise, saw this scene on the cloud, immediately gave up the idea of ​​going through the main entrance, told the tortoise to the cloud, concealed himself, and directly crossed the courtyard wall.

This is Xie Ling's first visit to Hanshan Wonderful Road.

A business family that has accumulated for hundreds of years, the houses are extensively built, with scattered pavilions, unique pavilions, winding corridors, and long lakes and long bridges.

Xie Ling searched for Yue Jiugui with his spiritual sense, and found it without much effort, then let the turtle jump into the air and went straight there.

The groom, who had been praised by the outside guests, was hiding in a small courtyard where firewood was piled up in a red wedding dress, looking at the sky numbly.

Xie Ling didn't make a sound, walked down from Yungui, went behind Yuejiugui, and lightly patted him on the shoulder.

"Who!" Yue Jiugui straightened his back in fright, turned his head and saw that it was Xie Ling, his expression improved slightly, and he said with a long sigh of relief: "It's you, brother."

"Why are you here?" Xie Ling asked puzzled.

Yue Jiugui's expression became extremely sluggish, if he hadn't taken care of the clothes on his body, he would have been sluggish to the ground.

"I should listen to Wen Lan's words and not hold such a big wedding banquet... I'm too tired, just standing outside to welcome guests is uncomfortable enough. I'll hide here for a while, and I'll pay my respects later. You have to toast table by table." Yue Jiugui showed a smile uglier than crying, and patted Xie Ling's shoulder back, "Senior brother, please listen to my advice, don't learn from me in this matter."

But he quickly cheered up again: "I have arranged a compartment for you, so you can watch my excitement without being disturbed. The dishes should be ready by now. Haha, when you come, senior brother, I can speak confidently Stop going outside to greet people!"

He regained his vitality, straightened his sleeves and skirts, and led Xie Ling towards the main courtyard.

Along the way, I met countless maids and servants, as well as the buddies of Hanshan Qidao, and they all congratulated Yue Jiugui.Although Yue Jiugui kept complaining in private, he didn't take his anger out on others, he smiled and took out red envelopes to send to them.Xie Ling and Yun Gui also received one each.

The room Yue Jiugui arranged for Xie Ling was said to be a partition, but it was actually a side hall with long windows open, allowing one to see the entire courtyard at a glance. There are bamboos and green pines erected in front of the wall, and calligraphy and paintings hung on the wall, which is very elegant.There was another open screen, which separated the door leading to the main hall, although it could not block the noise, it could keep out prying eyes.

The table is placed behind the long window, and there are four dishes and one soup on the table, which smells delicious, which is the craftsmanship of Yueji snacks.

A pot of crayfish, the red oil is translucent, the scallions are green and tender, the garlic is chopped into puree, and it is covered on the surface of the lobsters one after another; Garnished with white sesame seeds; there is also a steamed sea bass, a plate of fried seasonal vegetables, and a pot of tofu soup with fragrant side dishes.

Yungui went to hang out in the yard.Yue Jiugui pushed Xie Ling's shoulders to the back of the table, then went around to face him.Yue Jiugui didn't speak politely to Xie Ling, after washing his hands, he reached out to the crayfish, pulled out one, twisted the head and pinched off the tail, peeled off the tender meat from the shell, dipped it in the soup and threw it into his mouth.

He was so hungry that he ate four or five shrimps before stopping to talk.

"The wedding customs in our family are quite different from those in other places. The bride has been picked up early, and she is talking to her sisters in the yard on the other side. When the auspicious time comes, she will come here to worship with me." Yue Jiugui Picking up the chopsticks to pick up vegetables in Xie Ling's bowl, and then kept picking for himself, "The auspicious time is still a long time away, let me stay here for a while."

Xie Ling sat across from him, seeing him like this, couldn't help laughing.

"Congratulations." Xie Ling took out an exquisite lacquer box from his sleeve and pushed it towards Yue Jiugui, "I wish you an early baby."

Unexpectedly, Yue Jiugui shook his head violently: "No, no, we don't want children.

"Wen Lan thinks that marrying me—referring to holding a wedding banquet—has greatly delayed her sword practice, not to mention being pregnant and having children? I don't like children very much. You don't know, I have a My cousin gave birth to a boy a few years ago, and she cried day and night, making a fuss..."

Yue Jiugui told Xie Ling with a heavy tone how terrible it is to raise a young child.

Xie Ling blinked lightly after listening, and exchanged a blessing: "Then I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years?"

"At least 300 years." Yue Jiugui pointed out a "three" finger, and said in a serious tone, "I will work hard to practice and catch up with my wife."

Wen Lan is one of the best disciples in the same class, otherwise she would not be able to break out of the siege and win the Donghua Banquet, but she will go back to Jiujiu... Xie Ling wanted to say something tactfully, but then thought that today is the day of rejoicing for Jiujiu , or forget it.

"Then you have to work hard." Xie Ling said.

Yue Jiugui put Xie Ling's congratulatory gift into the Hongmeng ring, and greeted him: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, my chef's skills are improving day by day!"

Xie Ling let out a "hmm" and started to move her chopsticks.

Yue Jiugui didn't drink, and he had to toast after worshiping in a while, thinking about it gave him a headache, so he could not touch it.

After three rounds of cooking, Yue Jiugui couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Speaking of which, you have been retreating on Hefeng. The year before last, Tantra invited you to the Buddha's birthday ceremony and you didn't go. I really thought you would not come."

Xie Ling also planned in this way, wanting to give Yue Jiugui and his wife a congratulatory gift after many years when they feel in the mood, but today they suddenly had a premonition that it was time to make this trip.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime happy event for you, why don't I come." Xie Ling put a piece of fish into the bowl, and said calmly, "Didn't you also reserve a place for me?"

"I always thought you would come." Yue Jiugui whispered, "Although you ignored my contact."

Xie Ling lowered her eyes, focused on eating, and didn't answer these words.

Yue Jiugui knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and slapped himself in the bottom of his heart.

He quietly observed Xie Ling's expression, and saw that he didn't have much emotional change. After a while, he laughed and changed the subject: "How about staying here for a few more days, brother? After a while, you will be able to eat crabs. Yes The crab species newly bred by my family are not as rich and big as the crabs in autumn, but they are also sweet, tender and refreshing."

"I--"

Xie Ling wanted to say that he would go back to Hefeng to continue "retreat", but just as he said the word, his heartstrings were severely touched, and he felt an unspeakable and strong feeling.

He suddenly got up.

A ray of crimson light appeared in front of the eyes, suddenly appeared in front of the eyes, faintly flowing, gracefully fluttering down, and stopped at Xie Ling's fingertips.

The light stretched and turned into a butterfly with fluttering wings.

"What is this?" Yue Jiugui asked curiously.

Xie Ling looked at the butterfly on her fingertips, and slowly tilted her head: "Xiao Xun?"
